Much has already been said about the latest movie in the Star Wars franchise – we’re talking about Rogue One –from Andrew Cunningham claiming that while “characterisation isn’t its strong suit, it makes the rebellion feel real,” to which real-life locations made up the film’s stunning scenery. In case you were curious about the latter, it includes the Maldives.

Set after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, and just before the original Star Wars series comes to life, there are quite a few locations hopeful Jedi can now tick off their bucket list courtesy of Rogue One’s newly introduced planets.

Jedha is filmed in Jordan’s Salmon Zwaidth Campth, while one shot in the movie shows us the planet Eadu – Iceland in disguise. Of course, Rey’s home planet Jakku, in Abu Dhabi, features as well, with the UK’s Lake District being used to show us D’Qar.

What’s been gaining particular attention though is that Rogue One is partially shot in the Maldives – the inspiration for planet Scarif.
